More From Marilyn Vos Savant

Through all the years that i spent formulating my philosophical system, i was looking desperately for “intelligent agreement” or at least for “intelligent disagreement.” i found neither. today, i am not looking for “intelligent disagreement” any longer ... what i am looking for is intelligent agreement.
Intelligent Agreement Intelligence
It is important that when pursing our own self-interest we should be 'wise selfish' and not 'foolish selfish'. being foolish selfish means pursuing our own interests in a narrow, shortsighted way. being wise selfish means taking a broader view and recognizing that our own long-term individual interest lies in the welfare of everyone. being wise selfish means being compassionate.
Wise Selfish Lying

The difference between me and you is... that i don't mind what happens.
Wise Wisdom Clever
At sixteen i was stupid, confused and indecisive. at twenty-five i was wise, self-confident, prepossessing and assertive. at forty-five i am stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive. who would have supposed that maturity is only a short break in adolescence?
